Simple Crockpot Carnitas

1. 1

   Turn your crockpot (aka a slow cooker) on high.

2. 2

   Heat your lard in the microwave until it has melted and add to the crockpot.

3. 3

   Cut your pork shoulder into about 7 pieces and sprinkle with salt.

4. 4

   Place the pork pieces in the crockpot leaving spaces between the meat.

5. 5

   Cover and cook until the meat is tender.

6. 6

   Notes: Brown the cooked meat for a few minutes under the broiler if desired. I have also doubled the meat and the lard and let the meat boil in the lard until tender.
